Related: Culture Forums, Support Forums10 Things Women find unattractive
Come on ladies, now is your chance to post your 2 cents!
#1 unattractive thing men do - COMBOVERS! Look you're going bald and we can clearly see you're going bald. Really, just let it happen instead of doing that nasty ass combover that isn't fooling any of us that there is a baldspot underneath.
Oh and #1 worst combover of all time....
If you're going bald do it with pride. Better yet just shave it all off. But get rid of those nasty ass combovers

(10,573 posts)I don't have a combover, so I'm already worried that I could flunk that list.

Edited to add -
Liars.
These qualities are also unattractive in women too.

(53,997 posts)Women flock to a dude with an outsized issue. I won't judge them and say catty shit like "but they're women with poor self images" or "but most of these women have implants and unnaturally colored spray-on tans." Love is never wrong. But that said, being a self-absorbed, overprimped fop can in fact be a winning formula with the ladies.

(20,277 posts)As far as the rest of your post, all I can say is - there is no accounting for taste; or lack thereof.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)Which for some women make it helps them compensate for the man's douchebaggery.
I mean do you think Donald Trump could have had 3 hot wifes if he was the stockroom supervisor at your local Wal-mart?
I have dated a rich douche bag back when I was 23. It lasted for about 6 months until I realized he really was a douchebag and decided to not date him anymore. Didn't help that on the last date we had I had to drive him to some trailerpark outside of Hershey so he could buy his coke. That pretty much was a big no-no for me.

(30,885 posts)"I'm not good looking but I have a ton of money" (his appeal to the women in the audience).
Used to have a friend named Neil who was a decent enough guy. Not handsome, though, and he had a chronic case of adult acne that required ongoing treatment from a dermatologist. He owned a boat, and also had a t-shirt with the inscription "Hi, my name is Neil, and I have a boat."
Neil spent most of his time on that boat by himself. Reminded me of an old Richard Brautigan poem that went something like "She wants the things from men that she can't have because she's not 10% prettier."
So money or looks...you need some of each. If you are...as my dad used to say..."homely as a carload of assholes," you need a TON of money. And if you are living from paycheck to paycheck, you need to have the looks (or be a "bad boy" asshole, I guess. I've known more than one woman who went with guys who had no money...they had to pay for everything...and ultimately, the guys would ALWAYS be screwing someone else on the side).
HappyMe
(20,277 posts)I have never gone out with a guy who had a ton of money or been Mr. Super Good Looks. They have always been 'average' -- like me.
Is it most guy's opinion that women only want $$$ and/or good looks? It's sad if that is what they think. But I suppose
maybe those guys only try to date really shallow women.
redqueen
(115,103 posts)Generally speaking, that's how it seems to me.
I spent a year being shallow. I sought out the hot dudes though, not the rich ones.

Plus I get to wear my glasses and see the whirled around me.
HappyMe
(20,277 posts)To no avail. In the long run, better to have a guy that doesn't spend more time than yourself getting ready to go out.

(115,103 posts)I didn't exactly hang out with them... more like, yeah I'll just meet you there.

LynneSin
(95,337 posts)So for all I know that could be Rush Limbaugh.
But if it's Geddy Lee, he's one of those guys who got better looking as he got older. Roger Waters is like that too. Both Waters and Lee were kinda hideous looking freaks back in the 70s. But today - they are both good looking men!
BUT...
My thread was asking women to post what they think is unattractive in men. Last time I checked you were not a woman but then again i could be wrong.

(41,959 posts)You know, in response to attempts at intimate conversation, or requests to do anything they don't want to do or are unfamiliar with, or to pay real attention to what makes a woman aroused or happy.
I KNOW it's not everybody, fellas. Everybody doesn't have a combover either. But if you'd just jump in there without all the second guessing we'd like it sometimes and not sometimes and we could have a conversation about it and relax around one another more...just as soon as we get over our part of the problem. But somebody's gotta do it.

(20,176 posts)I've mastered that look with people I don't want to talk to...and they leave. It's wonderful. If you keep talking about it, someone is going to say "It's sweet" and the next thing you know, it's the new nerd-chic and I have to find a new way to avoid conversations.

(4,616 posts)seriously, dude! A couple of drinks, okay. Drinking until your words are slurred and you can't walk straight, not cool.

(2) Those who voted for this idiot:
(3) Those who are waiting for the Rapture:
(4) Someone whos not there when I need him the most:
(5) No sense of humor!
(6) Those who try to mask their insecurities by bullying others.
And, finally...
(7) Those who ask for too many sponge baths:
Those are great, pacalo!!!

(6,787 posts)...Or waitresses, or anyone whose job is to serve. It's boorish, stupid and utterly charmless behavior.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)The girl clearly messed up. But it wasn't with our food or anything. We had just asked if she would divide the bill 5 ways between us (some had credit cards and others had cash). If we only paid what she charged us she would have still owed $15.
I volunteered to fix the mistake. I like the restaurant and I'm an ex waitress - so I wanted to make things right. I told the others to sign the bill but to tip based on $10 since that is what each of us technically owed.
One guy felt that because she screwed up the check she should suffer the loss. It annoyed me that he said that. I mean I know I'm a pretty smart person and I have messed up on checks. I only wish people were honest to me when I made a mistake. I treated the waitress the same way I would want to be treated.
He didn't leave her a very good type but I left extra to cover him.
Crappy service is one thing, an honest mistake is quite another.

(115,103 posts)Had a woman mention that her beloved was really a wonderful guy, but also anti immigrant, anti gay, and racist.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)Nice jobs, polite manners - the type of guy you'd want to take home and introduce to the parents.
On the second date he went on a rant about illegal immigrants.
Didn't return the phone calls after that.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)In general anyone who hates someone else because of race, religion, sexual preference, skin color - that's just ugly!
